Incoming Armed Forces Chief Lt. Gen. Gregorio Pio Catapang: Win the peace FILE PHOTO<\/p><\/div>\n

MANILA, Philippines–Incoming Armed Forces Chief Lt. Gen. Gregorio Pio Catapang on Thursday said he would lead a military that is responsive to global challenges as well as the persistent communist insurgency by aiming to \u201cwin the peace,\u201d echoing the mantra of his classmate and predecessor, Gen. Emmanuel Bautista.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cWe are transitioning to territorial defense because the world has become so globalized that the threats \u2026 are likewise global \u2026 We have to level up, put a closure to the problem of internal [security] so that we can move forward and face the global challenges in the 21st century,\u201d Catapang told reporters as he and Bautista visited the Asian Defense, Security and Crisis Management Exhibit and Conference (Adas 2014) at the World Trade Center in Pasay City.<\/p>\n\n

Catapang and Bautista, who are both members of\u00a0 the Philippine Military Academy \u201cDimalupig\u201d Class of 1981, went from booth to booth at the Adas exhibit, checking out the latest military and security technologies and meeting exhibitors from Israel and other countries.<\/p>\n\n

Catapang said the Philippine military should be able to respond to terrorism, transnational crimes like human trafficking, and arms and drugs smuggling, money laundering, cybercrime, as well as the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, which continues to be a grave threat in the face of global terrorism.<\/p>\n\n

Without mentioning the Philippines\u2019 problems with China, Catapang said another 21st century challenge concerns maritime security concerns and territorial disputes.<\/p>\n\n

He also said the destructive storms such as \u201cOndoy,\u201d \u201cPepeng,\u201d \u201cRamil\u201d and last year\u2019s \u201cYolanda\u201d \u201csignal the war on climate change as global warming has spawned supertyphoons.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

The change of command ceremony and testimonial review for Bautista has been set for 10 a.m. Friday. This will be followed by Catapang\u2019s formal assumption of the post at a ceremony to be presided over by President Aquino.–Nikko Dizon<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
